The light at the doorway was dim, and Sienna rummaged through her bag for a long time but couldn't find her keys.
Simon Forrester walked up softly, "Lawyer Thorne, we..."
Just then, Quentin Thorne came out from inside, called out "Annie", cutting off what Simon was about to say.
Sienna looked up at her father with a flushed face, "Daddy..."
Simon stepped back a pace.
Quentin opened the iron gate of the garden, his gentle gaze sweeping over his daughter's reddened eyes, then he looked seriously at Simon.
Simon quickly caught on and smiled, nodding at Quentin, "Hello, sir, I'm a friend of Lawyer Thorne's."
Quentin glanced at the car parked at the house entrance, then at the well-dressed young man in front of him, and finally, his gaze fell on the half-revealed face of the valuable Patek Philippe watch.
"Hello, may I have your surname?"
Simon nodded again, "Forrester, no need for formality."
